"We are determined to make it easier and cost-effective for salons, spas and barbershops to become more sustainable," said Jay Rawl, President and CEO at Minerva Beauty. "At Minerva Beauty, we monitor innovations carefully, so when we see something that improves not only the client experience but also a salon's efficiency while cutting costs, we can move quickly to ensure our customers benefit. Easy to install on almost any shampoo bowl, the ECOHEADS Sprayer delivers immediate improvement in water quality and client experience. ECOHEADS is a giant step forward towards a prosperous, more sustainable future for our industry."
Designed in 2012 by two childhood friends, one being an award-winning hairdresser in Sydney Australia, ECOHEADS was crafted specifically for the fast-paced salon environment. The salon spray nozzle is the first of its kind to deliver BOTH improved water pressure and reduced water usage. At the same time, it cleanses the water using a two-step filtration process, ensuring you are rinsing with clean water that has the added benefit of tourmaline, which introduces negative ions to the water.

"To date, the ECOHEADS community has saved over 5.5 billion gallons of water to date and contributed toward building a well in El Salvador through our Save Water Give Water campaign; an achievement over three years in the making. We know this partnership with Minerva will accelerate the positive impact the beauty industry is making on the planet and its people."
